According to reference sources quoted by the Russian News Agency on October 6, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in an interview with the Hungarian "Guerrilla" website that Poland and the Baltic countries undermined her efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine and engage in constructive dialogue with Russia in 2021. Efforts have indirectly led to the beginning of Russia's special military operations against Ukraine.

Merkel reportedly said: "This (attempt to resolve the conflict) failed to gain the support of some countries. They are mainly opposed to my proposal by the Baltic States."

Merkel explained that she proposed a new dialogue mechanism between the EU and Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2021, but Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland strongly opposed the proposal because of concerns that the EU will not be able to formulate a common policy against Russia.

Merkel said: ¡°Then I stopped being prime minister, and then special military operations began.¡±

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Chakhkner hasly expressed dissatisfaction with Merkel¡¯s statements.

Estonia's Postman quoted Chachkner as saying: "Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel's accusations against the Baltic countries and Poland are brazen and absolutely incorrect."
